Support NeoGAF

[Proposed Law]

Now with Kinect, you can feed your own fish!

 

[SuperSonic1305]

I don't have time for Microsoft's solid waste excrement.

 

[Dennis]

OH TALI LET ME REMOVE YOUR HELMET

Perfect first reply

The GAF Mass Effect fanboys are really crazy.

 

[GeoramA]

I wonder if Microsoft would start money hatting for Motion Control exclusives for multiplat games....I wouldn't put it past them.

Like SixAxis controls. Remember them in GTA IV?

Ah...gimmicks.

 

[Beelzeboss]

Moving the galaxy map with your hands would be pretty cool.

Not buy a kinect cool just regular olde cool

 

[Diablohead]

I want to kinect to Miranda

Maybe we can teabag dead enemies now.

 

[Acheteedo]

I'm very curious to see what this is. Kinect biotics could be fun (though completely impractical on higher difficulties).

 

[Jarmel]

Yes. Finally I can scan planets by hand.

Finally gives you the chance to finger Uranus.

Really Commander?

 

[Riposte]

Finally, an inventory system which makes sense!

 

[Dennis]

I want to kinect to Miranda

I don't see how that would work.

 

[AranhaHunter]

Not saying this won't happen, but I'll keep my expectations low. L4D2 PS3 was also up on EA's site before release and we all know how that turned out.

 

[enzo_gt]

Fuck, will they never learn with the Box Art or what? How hard is it to put a picture of the Normandy doing a barrel roll on the cover?

 

[TheOddOne]

I don't see how that would work.

Floating hands...

 

[xbhaskarx]

As long as it's not required it's perfectly fine for me.

And yet there will be four pages of people flipping out....

 

[dyergram]

Just came here to see this gif hah.

 

[Revolutionary]

Exclusive Kinect controls for the Mako!

 

[Ronabo]

blue and orange and bald.

ROFLMAO

 

[seat]

Kinect in Mass Effect? Lots of interesting possibilities there. I'm cautiously optimistic.

 

[Diablohead]

Exclusive Kinect controls for the Mako!

Jump to jump! Spin around to turn! scream to shoot!

 

[pharmboy044]

Mass Effect 3 delayed due to Kinect compatibility?

 

[Yoshichan]

This thread reminded me how much I want Tali in my hands... I really, really do.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Mass Effect 3 delayed due to Kinect compatibility?

Terrible if it was delayed for support for motion systems

 

[EmCeeGramr]

This thread reminded me how much I want Tali in my hands... I really, really do.

stop

stop

 

[Dabanton]

I just want a

"Wrex"

"Shephard"

back and forth conversation using the mic on the Kinect.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

As long as I'm able to wank to the sex scene without fucking it up/skipping it, then I don't see a problem with them adding kinect.

 

[BeeDog]

I wouldn't be surprised if MS' E3 conference will consist of tons of announcements that Kinect will be supported by upcoming 3rd party games.

 

[ProtoCents]

Stop this nonsense. Stop it right now.

 

[Genesis Knight]

I don't see how that would work.

GODDAMN

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

So this is why it got delayed...

: /

 

[SolidSnakex]

I wonder if Microsoft would start money hatting for Motion Control exclusives for multiplat games....I wouldn't put it past them. Especially if the other console motion option might be implemented better.

My guess is that this is almost certainly going to be what happens. I'd actually prefer that to there being exclusive content in a multiplatform title.

 

[beast786]

Well, the omnitool sword on his arm is in the game, but was not revealed until recently, so presumably this is correct.


EA did make voice commands for The Sims 3 Unleashed already, so it's entirely possible they just ported that over.

I remember EndWar by Ubisoft also had Voice Command.

It actually worked pretty well.

 

[scarybore]

I can only hope it's nothing substantial, I'm in no rush to buy a Kinect and it would suck for the other platform owners if they missed out on any content.

I just want a

"Wrex"

"Shephard"

back and forth conversation using the mic on the Kinect.

That would be an excellent easter egg, make it happen Bioware!

 

[Blue Ninja]

Since it only says "BETTER WITH KINECT", I'm not assuming it's anything gameplay-related. Maybe something like being able to scan your face and importing it straight into the game. Ugly Shepard rises.

 

[mujun]

Yeah, those money hungry soulless bastards!

A cool company that cares about me would procure (not money hat) great extras like a playable Joker or Kratos!

 

[Doodis]

This has reminded me about an idea I had - wouldn't the Kinect be great for facial mapping? I know Rainbow Six did it years ago, with lackluster results, but wouldn't Kinect be much better at importing your face into the game for your Shepard? Seems like it would. Even if it's not a perfect representation, it could read your face and then give you the closest custom settings in the game, right?

EDIT: Ugh, beaten. I was totally thinking of this first, dammit!

I think this is the most likely. EA FACE

 

[Mister_Bubbles]

What are the chances that by 2012 PC users will be able to use kinect functions as well?

high

 

[Doffen]

It’s more likely a feature that’s just cooler with Kinect, but still possible with a controller.

 

[GavinGT]

So we'll get to walk around the Normandy and check out the headlights like Forza Kinect?

 

[a Master Ninja]

The cover looks better than ME2's, at least.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Wave hand Jedi mind control.

Push hand biotic force motion.

Push arms outwards magneto style shield AOE blast.

Pull arm forward to Biotic Pull.

Raise, then drop hand to do that biotic thingy where you raise then smash the person to the ground.

Kinect Baby!

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

Every game that uses Kinect but doesn't require it says "Better With Kinect". It's the official boxart banner for games that can also use a controller. It means nothing with regards to the lengths at which Kinect is supported.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I hope it's true because I am going to play it on PC regardless and the reaction would be priceless.

Yes and no maybe. The PC part is for me but there's nothing compelling about Kinect.

 

[Paracelsus]

Yes and no maybe. The PC part is for me but there's nothing compelling about Kinect.

What if you can have full-body tracking with True Kinect (PC)?

 

[lockload]

No read what bioware have said about kinect

 

[Don]

This is just a small thing and most people probably don't care, but I really hate how they always put Default Male Shepard on the cover for all the Mass Effect games.

That character on the cover doesn't exist in my Mass Effect so why is he on the cover?

 

[Yoshichan]

This is just a small thing and most people probably don't care, but I really hate how they always put Default Male Shepard on the cover for all the Mass Effect games.

He's the dude that represents Mass Effect. It's an advertisement tool, they confirmed that in an interview.

 

[Grisby]

I would fist bump Wrex in a heartbeat.

Because the vast majority use male Shepard and like it or not he is the face of the franchise.
